How is America like a Rolling Stone?

"Friends, Americans, countrymen...
Lend me your eyes and minds;
I come to bury America
Not to praise her.

The evil that nations do live after them;
The good is oft interred with her citizenry."
--William Shakespeare (had he been living in America right now, maybe)

Yes, folks, we are living in the end times. The Rapture is imminent. We all know it is true. The truth about this country has been hanging over the heads of all its inhabitants for a long while; only now are we realizing we haven't seen the sunlight since our childhoods. We know our economy is falling apart; we know gas prices are going to continue to rise, sending with it the price of everything else to the stratosphere; we know it is tougher to get a job then it once was; we know even the government is broke, though that doesn't stop them from spending OUR money; we know most nations seem intent on watching us throw our back out while attempting to pick them all up; we know China owns us, and is only getting stronger and better, not to mention buying more and more of us; we know we can't trust anybody in the government; we know we can't believe what they say, nor can we "Believe in" them either; we know our society is more focused on American Idol than on the Muddled East; we know a college education doesn't get you as much as it did; we know drugs are a way of life in this country, we all know someone who habitually uses marijuana, drinks alcohol often, smokes cigarettes to calm down, can't wake up without caffeine, is taking multiple anti-depressants and pain medications, loves going out and dropping E or doing a line of coke; we don't see anything wrong with this.

Is Heaven going to open up and pull all the faithful from the Earth and make them vanish as if they were never here? Would we even notice?

Will Earth cataclysmically be destroyed? I'm not entirely sure it hasn't already happened.

Maybe we just don't know it yet. Maybe if we weren't so concerned with Charlie Sheen, MTV, and TMZ, maybe we'd realize America doesn't have any moss on it.
